[not-FIRST] Camera Image Processing
Hello,

I am working on an unrelated-to-FIRST project at college in which I am doing image processing on tiny robots with cameras. The only thing is, the only image processing I have ever dealt with is the CMUCam, which does all it's processing onboard so it can give you back nice "x1 y1 x2 y2 x_center y_center" values.

Unfortunately, I don't get such pretty data. I get an array of bytes that represents an image in the YUV color space. I want to do some analysis of this image to find a blob of a certain color. I am not entirely sure how to do this and am going to poke around to try and find things smart people who have done this before have written.

Has anyone else worked with this sort of do-it-yourself image processing? Can you point me at any resources? I'd be most grateful!
